The memoirs of Admiral Karl Dnitz, Ten Years and Twenty Days, are a fascinating firsthand account of the Battle of the Atlantic as seen from the headquarters of the Uboat fleet. Now, for the first time noted naval historian Jak P. Mallmann Showell has combined Dnitzs memoirs in a parallel text with the British Admiraltys secret Monthly AntiSubmarine Reports to produce a unique view of the Uboat war as it was perceived at the time by both sides.The British Monthly AntiSubmarine Reports were classified documents issued only to senior officers hunting Uboats, and were supposed to have been returned to the Admiralty and destroyed at the end of the War, but by chance a set survived in the archives of the Royal Navys Submarine Museum in Gosport, allowing the reader a hitherto unavailable insight into the British view of the Battle of the Atlantic as it was being fought.Together with the authors commentary adding information that was either unknown or too secret to reveal at the time, this book gives possibly the most complete contemporary account of the desperate struggle in the North Atlantic in the Second World War.
